Taylor 312ce Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar 

Combining the comfortable, portable feel of the Grand Concert body with the enhanced sonic power of V-Class bracing, the 312ce delivers high-fidelity acoustic tone with a playing experience that’s second to none. Solid sapele back and sides bring warmth and balance, while a Sitka spruce top adds sparkle and clarity in the treble range. Under the hood, our new bracing scheme helps this guitar produce surprising volume and incredible sustain with a remarkable soft-touch response, making the 312ce a perfect choice for strummers and fingerpickers alike. Expression System 2 electronics provide clean, natural plugged-in tone, while the guitar’s spartan black binding and Gemstone inlays add visual flavor that’s minimalist, yet classic. It ships in a deluxe hardshell case.

Grand Concert Body

The 312ce has a grand concert body, which is significantly smaller than the grand auditorium, providing a big sound in a comfortable design. Built with a tapered waist and shorter scale, as well as a lighter string tension, the grand concert shape is perfect for in the studio and on stage. Fingerpickers will fall in love with the clarity and precision of this exceptionally designed guitar body.

Venetian Cutaway

The Venetian Cutaway is renowned for its soft, round lines, creating a visually stunning look that is recognisable on any body. This type of cutaway allows easier access to the upper frets for a comfortable play, and enables you with more freedom throughout the fingerboard.

Sitka Spruce & Sapele

The Taylor guitar features a beautiful sitka spruce top that offers a broad dynamic range and a crisp articulation. Sitka spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. This stunning tonewood is contrasted with sapele back and sides, which delivers a consistent and balanced tone with an excellent top-end shimmer. This stunning combination of tonewoods not only provides you with a beautiful guitar, but also offers a great combination of tones.

Expression System 2

The Taylor Expression System 2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor's ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 is Taylor's proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor's custom designed professional audio grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favourite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.
